Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

The incandescent lamp swayed gently with mixed light, reflecting the ceiling made of old newspapers and the walls made of fine yellow mud.

Reflecting the cramped space.

Reflecting the mottled solid wood Eight Immortals table and four solid wood small stools.

It reflected the bright new sheets and quilts on the kang.

Reflecting on Luo Hui and his party.

They were sitting neatly on the edge of the kang, staring at the flames roaring in the adobe stove.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn.

No one spoke.

At this time, it had been three days since they said goodbye to Renhe Village, and they were staying overnight in a village called Zhangzhuang.

The county magistrate was also not alarmed.

I found this poorest village in Huining by asking passers-by.

Huining is a famous poor county, but it is a well-known number one county. It produces a large number of undergraduate students every year, which changes its destiny.

The college entrance examination is the only chance.

Luo Hui wandered around the village for two days and mentally confirmed the villagers' statement.

no way.

The climate and environment here are exactly the same as Xihaigu, which is known as "unfit for human habitation". There are endless loess slopes everywhere.

Thousands of ravines.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, there is only earthy color on the hillside and little green.

If the land in the mountains is not harvested for grain, it is considered a good harvest if the yield per mu can reach 100 catties. However, a drought often results in no harvest at all.

All the seeds have to be paid for.

"Mr. Luo."

Someone finally broke the silence: "Perhaps, we can find a place to move all the villagers out. For example, the group headquarters is very short of manpower and can let them do sanitation and so on."

Luo Hui turned around and looked.

The speaker's name is Bian Minxue, one of the middle managers he hired from the capital, who is good at human resources management.

He grinned: "It's easy to move a village. There are only a hundred people. It's not a big deal to raise them."

"This is charity."

"Not doing business."

"What I want to do is business. What I want to find is a way to get rich and a replicable development model."

“It’s easy for a family of 100 to relocate.”

"But where can the entire population of 400,000 in Huining County be moved?"

"I have prepared 800 million investment funds for each project site, just because I know that sooner or later I will encounter this seemingly unsolvable proposition."

"Don't be discouraged!"

"When we encounter a problem, we just need to find a way to solve it. Once we solve a big problem, the rest of the problems will be solved."

"For example, in Zhangzhuang, the root cause of all problems is insufficient fresh water resources."

“Let’s start with the water source.”

"Just because the rainfall in this damn place is low doesn't mean it won't rain."

"After two days of inspection, I have a general idea. First, we need to build several dams and intercept them layer by layer to keep the precious rainwater locally."

“It’s not expensive to build.”

"Using loess in the middle and concrete on both sides, the investment for a dam that spans 30 to 50 meters only costs hundreds of thousands."

"We build more dams to first block the turbid rainwater, and then clarify and preserve it one after another. This can not only ensure drinking water but also agricultural water."

"It doesn't matter if there's less water."

"We can develop several agricultural projects that use less water."

"Just grow licorice."

"We go to the ceramics factory to customize ceramic tubes with a diameter of about five centimeters, and then assemble these ceramic tubes into petri dishes of a certain size."

"Licorice is inherently drought-resistant, and by cultivating it using this petri dish-style planting method, we can achieve the purpose of saving water."

“It also eliminates most of the heavy manual labor.”

"When harvesting, just take out the substrate and licorice from the clay tubes."

"If you add some fertilizer to the substrate, it can be recycled."

"First create a way to make money."

"As long as this road works, other villages and towns will follow suit and start Chinese herbal medicine planting projects."

"Well, let's set up a Chinese medicinal materials company to cultivate medicinal seedlings for villagers and provide technical guidance and purchase services."

"Finally, we will handle it in a unified way and sell it to medicinal companies, trying to keep all the profit links locally."

"If there is excess water, it can be concentrated and replanted with fruit trees one by one."

"The products produced are directly connected to supermarkets to avoid middlemen making price differences."

"Fruits that do not meet supermarket sales standards can also be used to squeeze juice and be sold directly on the Internet platform, which also avoids middlemen making price differences."

"After these three axes have been cut, I still don't believe that Loess Plateau has no future for development?"

You are the boss and you have the final say.

Listening to Luo Hui's explanation, Fu Tao and the other three managers nodded repeatedly, their eyes brightening.

Fu Tao volunteered: "Mr. Luo, since we have a development direction, should I contact the county magistrate now?"

"Let's get in touch tomorrow morning."

Looking at the darkening sky, Luo Hui nodded: "It's late at night, let me have a good sleep. Let's go to the village and see what those bachelors are doing."

Very ashamed.

This style of play was something he had seen on the news in his previous life. It was a mature routine developed by poverty alleviation cadres after they had gone deep into the Loess Plateau and explored it for several years.

Unfortunately, the poverty alleviation project has not yet begun, and the Loess Plateau will have to suffer for a few more years.

His investment can only change the fate of a small number of people. Real poverty alleviation on a large scale depends on the strength of the country.

"Hey, Boss Luo!"

"Come in, come in, it's freezing outside, why are you here?"

The east end of the village.

Luo Hui and his party knocked on the wooden door close to the door god. The middle-aged man who came out was overjoyed and hurriedly let the five people into the house.

Someone has entered the house.

However, the host jumped to the kang in embarrassment and hurriedly tidied up the tattered bedding and spread it as much as possible: "Oh, I didn't know you were here, and I didn't tidy it up either."

"Brother Zhang, don't take care of it anymore. I'm here to discuss something with you."

Luo Hui didn't mind it and turned around and sat down on the kang.

Slowly looking at the environment in the house.

The old Zhang family was so poor that there was no newspaper on the roof, leaving firewood and citrons exposed.

The walls made of fine yellow mud are also mottled and peeling, and speaking louder can shake off a lot of dust.

The lights were horribly dim.

I could barely see Brother Zhang's expression clearly.

There wasn't even a stove in the house, and all the heating was done by the heated kang.

"If you need anything, just tell me, and we, Lao Zhang, will definitely help." Lao Zhang tried his best to straighten his chest and control his trembling body.

Luo Hui patted the head of the kang and signaled Brother Zhang to get on the kang: "Brother, I want to ask you to be an actor and make a few short videos."

"What?"

Lao Zhang's eyes widened and he couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to pick out his ears, fearing that he had heard wrongly.

"I want you to be an actor. I'll pay you five thousand yuan a month. Do you want to do it?"

"Do it, do it, do it. But we can't act."
